District 88 to host Young Hearts for Life free cardiac screenings

District 88 is committed to ensuring the safety, health and well-being of its students.

As part of that mission, the district has partnered with the Young Hearts for Life® (YH4L) Cardiac Screening Program, a not-for-profit organization affiliated with Advocate Charitable Foundation, to offer free electrocardiograms (ECGs) to identify high school students at risk for heart conditions. District 88 highly encourages parents/guardians to register their student for this event, and details are listed below.

Video contest: Students are encouraged to participate in the Young Hearts for Life Video Contest. The best video at each school will receive $100 and will be entered to win the grand prize of $500. Entries should be two to three minutes long and focus on the benefits of receiving a cardiac screening. The deadline to submit videos is May 1, 2018. For details, go to www.dupage88.net/YH4LVideoContest.
